I thought stilettos were a no, no.
Didn’t wanna take the M25… Good grief.
And the world would weep and history would hold you amongst the greatest villains by the time you’d finished your trip.
I bet you’d head back in a time machine to Victorian Holland and say, ‘Don’t paint, Mr Van Gogh! You’ll go mental and cut your ear off. Remember what I say! I can’t stay, I’ve got to go and tell Hendrix not to take any acid.’

Right on, Cas. I take back everything bad I ever said about you.

Why? Are you going to ring Ayrton Senna’s family up and tell them driving fast is a stupid thing to do as well?
Who’s that HoneyBee chapette, anyway? I hope it’s one of those honey trap thingies.
‘Yes, madam. We at Sellek International Private Investigators did manage to arrange the covert operation you were interested in. However, not only did your significant other take the bait and engage the agent in, shall we say, extra curricular activities, he did manage to actually shag her. Yes, I’m afraid the incident went quite beyond company procedures for this sort of thing. And he did it, er, quite proficiently, it seems. Our agent has quit her job with us and has decided to routinely offer herself and her friends to him. Not even in single file. We can’t get her to accept any other cases. She says she’s too busy. I’m ever so sorry. We’ll of course refund your money. What’s that? You don’t think you could actually bring yourself to confront him about it for risk of losing him altogether? You want us to destroy all evidence? Very well, madam.’

At least he went out blazing. At least his short life was spent living. I’d rather that than spend my puff not doing things out of fear, cowering away and feeling safe like some shell of a human being. Lesser human beings? How can not experiencing something make you more? Riddle me that. I’m supposed to be freeborn Briton with a bit of derring-do. Drinking, drug taking, mountain climbing, motor racing, fighting, horse riding, footballing, sailing, adventuring, womanising, policeman hat knocking offing. If you see what I mean, that is.
The point is, none of these things are safe. Not even necessarily recommended. But they are a laugh and they are constructive. If you don’t think so, don’t ever post in the arts forum again. In fact, go to your ceedee collection, take out all the good ones and bin them. You can keep the shite. I can guarantee it was written and performed by soulless, non drug-taking chumps. They’re all probably still alive, as well. Mouldering away somewhere.
Drugs are dangerous and that’s an integral part of why they’re a good thing. They expand horizons in a genuine manner. Open up knew avenues in all sorts of unexpected and delightful ways. There’s bound to be casualties. There is danger, though, in anything worthwhile. How many artists or philosophers have gone mad just from their contemplations? Yet you’d think picking up a brush or a pen would be safe.
Not if you want to be good.
To be fair, I think Pete would have a point if there was a straight correlation along the lines of take drugs get addicted, but there isn’t. No more than it’s true everyone who has a beer becomes an alcoholic. It’s just dumb situation and hard luck that might lead you to some unintended and hairy consequences in each case. Therefore, people who find themselves in that situation deserve a bit of sympathy. In any case, when did a bit of common human empathy and understanding ever do any harm?
Also, what Pete says is true. Cigarettes are more addictive than a lot of other drugs. People who try them are more likely to become addicted than for other typical substance x. That, however, is not the same as holding that they are more difficult, once physically addicted, to give up than other substances. I seriously doubt, for example, that Pete was confined to bed with cramps and hallucinations while trying to do without his breakfast Rothmans.
Seagulls are magnificently vicious, pitiless beasts. I like them. I especially like watching them nick fish suppers off fat girls. Priceless entertainment.
